It is because of her desire to bring liver disease research to the forefront that she was asked to serve on the AASLD's Development Committee. Dr. Palmer began asking her patients enrolled in clinical trials to donate their stipends to The Liver Research Fund to support AASLD's research awards, educational grants, and programs. She asked AASLD to create information that could be distributed to her patients once she realized that many of her patients were willing to donate, but that they needed information on where and how to do so.
AASLD created a flyer stand, flyers, and postage-paid reply envelopes for display in offices, and these items have made it easier for Dr. Palmer's patients to donate to The Liver Research Fund.
Since Dr. Palmer started asking her patients for donations, they have given more than $9000 to The Liver Research Fund. "I hope this will spur enthusiasm among my peers to help raise funds for AASLD. Promoting The Liver Research Fund through my office is a component of my personal commitment to quality liver care," she enthuses.
Members of AASLD can request the fundraising stand, flyers, and information by contacting Heidi Bruce, Director of Development, by email to hbruce@aasld.org or by phone at (703) 299-9766.
